Website for Heidi Kilpelainen, London based, Finnish multi-media artist
Observe yourselves title comes from a personal memory, in which the artist’s mother explained how the glass moved to give an answer ‘observe yourselves’ to a question, while playing Ouija board.
An abandoned, empty space can be seen as symbolic representation of the mind and body. The neglected objects, junk and rubbish act as challenging, unexamined life experiences, or memories. They behave like pathogens in the body, blocking the flow of the life-giving energy, resulting in problems with mental and physical health. From a personal experience Kilpeläinen feels, that in order to achieve mental and physical wellbeing, one has to turn inwards to observe oneself; mind and body.
